New travel restrictions linked to Omicron

Travel restrictions for people entering the Czech Republic have been tightened in connection with the spread of Omicron.

As of Monday December 27, even people traveling from countries with a low and medium risk of infection will have to have a negative PCR test taken no more than 72 hours before entry. They will then have to take a second PCR test 5 to 7 days after entering the Czech Republic.

Travellers with primary vaccination and those who have had Covid-19 will no longer be exempted from this regulation. On the other hand those with a booster shot will only need to fill in a form upon entry.
